Why is America so bloody religious ?

QuoteOriginally posted by: MaeloHey: Thta's why a lot of guys (good guys and real experts in Quant stuff) have stopped psoting here...FARMER and PAUPER the Religious crazy-guys "righteous" reallyare pitiful excuses for human beings and Quant rael knowledgeable guys have no time for their stupid quandraries ..I will not continue wasting my time in a futile fight with morons like them...when you fight against a pig you got down to its level........................When it comes to disseminating the tenets of the Church of Liberalism, there is not actual debating or analysis. There is only verification by repetition. So when you begin to pick apart the virus that these idiots have soaked up like a sponge - to actually argue - it makes them feel very sordid and uncomfortable. After all, they got as far as they did in college by parroting, and by verifying credibility through shibboleths.Look at the word "liberal" itself. The libs first took the label so as to put a superficial brand-name on their package without any actual analysis by the shopper. Now that the contents of the package are known, they distance themselves from the label.So it's not a "fight" which you offer, Maelo. It's a singalong. You just keep singing. And find a little room somewhere where yours is the only song...

I believe "rural water" generally means water from wells, as opposed to "city water," which generally means water that has been treated and inspected and ruled safe to drink.

I would guess that "rural water" is a magic phrase over complaints about contamination from fracking, etc. Same with "safe drinking water," with that more general to include "city water" that isn't fit to drink.

"Runoff," generically, is just water and anything else carried with it in floods or heavy rain. Probably it's included as a magic word over factory farms, especially hog farms, where they have big pits of manure that from time to time overflow due to rain and kill all the fish in nearby creeks.

So apparently in addition to their DEI infatuation they want to piss on any environmental initiatives.

This was my suspicion as well. So, they can pump PFAS etc. into the rivers with impunity.

Well, the only good news here is that almost all of the unvaccinated kids who drink the rural pig slop would grow up to be Trump voters.
